    Car battery

    my advise is, if it keeps starting, leave it alone, just don`t have the radio and lights on for long amount of times without the engine running, but batteries do suffer in the winter, and yours sounds as if it is giving up a little bit, but i`d personally just wait till it gives up

    Slow to start vauxhall vivaro 1.9 dci

    sounds like a glow plug issue to me, you may be getting power to them and getting all the right readings from the top, the only way to check glow plugs really is to take them out, apply a neg to the body, apos to the end where the pos, goes, and see if they light up, if two of your plugs are out...

    airbag warning light

    When you say you`ve tried the connections under the seat, do you mean you`ve cut them off and replaced them with bullet type connectors or you just checked they are connected, because i`d disconnect the battery making sure i have the radio code, cut the conectors at staggered points, so you know...

    Ford escort mk 6, Boot leaking water when it rains.

    I`d get some one to put a hosepipe on the suspected area, and you sit inside the boot looking to where the water is coming in, you`ll narow it down then and be able to repair the problem, make sure you park the car as you usually do, sometimes uphill down hill makes a difference as to no leak...

    Wheel locking nuts.

    I`ve always removed locking wheel nuts by smashing a just under socket onto them, if they are the solid type, if they are the ones that spin on the outside a hammer and chisel is the way forward

    Peugeot 306 - turns over but will not start

    In these temperatures the first thing i would do is drain the water from the fuel filter, fuel gets all kinds of crap in with it and if some water has got in with it, it may have frozen, on the bottom of your fuel filter you will have a plastic turn screw, turn it until liquid comes out and keep...

    changing a 306 front fog lamp bulb

    Yes the plastic bit is a splash guard and this needs to be removed before you get the bulb out, either a 20 or 30 torx bit, can`t quite remember now, and yes some have wires attached and some just have a spade connecter on the back of the bulb, but they are not bayonetted, they have a spring...

    Peugeot 206 rear axle bearings

    i`ve worked at a peugoet dealership before and i`ve replaced just the bearings, if you have it done in the dealership it will cost you a arm and a leg in labour costs, and if they are fitting the whole axle with all new parts it will cost you even more, the only reason i would personally replace...

    Glossing skirting boards

    In my experience masking tape doesn`t stick to carpet very well, and when you pull it up the static makes the pile rise up and stick to the skirting board, not to mention all kind of other crap you didn`t know was there, cardboard was just a suggestion, i`ve never used it i`ve always used my...

    2003 megane 1.9dci lights

    I don`t advise this at all, but just thought i`d tell you all what i saw a guy do once, car kept blowing fuses and he couldn`t find the fault, so he opened all the doors got a few people on each door one in the boot and himself in the engine bay whilst he ran a live straight from the battery to...

    Engine Management light on Citroen Relay Van

    the thing is with changing a clutch on this is that once it`s out, it`s out, and if you can`t get it back in, if you haven`t got the experience, no-one will want to come around to your house and fit it back in for you, and it`ll be hard to tow it anywhere with all the bottom arms out driveshafts...

    Bleeding Greenstar 37cdi Boiler

    yes the bleeding of the radiator probably did reduce the pressure to zero, but this is normal, and is easily fixed, there should be a water inlet valve into the system, usually like a valve looped off a pipe going into the boiler, with a keyway for a flat head screwdriver, if you turn this...

    DAMP CARPETS - DESPERATE

    this is definatly your landlords problem and not yours, and i would suggest that you let him know that it isn`t healthy for a baby living in damp surroundings and that he should resolve this issue ASAP, citizens advice should be more than you need to give you the ammunition you need to give a...

    Laminate tiles

    personally i`d start in the corner and work across, then the off cut from the last row begins your next row, this is the best way to reduce so much waste, but if your room isn`t square, which most aren`t, you may end up with odd joints and may need to compensate for this, meaning every other row...
